I don't want anyone to get alarmed.
I know you've probably never seen one of these before, but it goes by [C#] itself.
Now my friends are gone, and my hair is gray.
I hate in the places where I used to play, and [F#] I'm crazy for love.
But I'm not [C#] coming on.
I'm [G#] just paying my rent every [F#] day in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet, but [F#] I hear him coughing
all [C#] night long.
I'm not coming on.
Yeah, [G#] a hundred floors above [F#] me in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
[F#]
[C#] [G#]
[C#] [G#]
You're very kind, Hank.
I [C#] was born like this.
The gift of a golden voice.
[F#] I'm not coming on.
From the great [C#] beyond.
I'm not coming on.
Yeah, [G#] they tied me to this table [F#] right here in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll.
I'm very sorry, baby.
Doesn't look like me at all.
[F#] I'm standing by the window where the light [C#] is strong.
They [G#] don't let a woman kill [F#] you, not in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure.
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor.
[F#] There's a mighty judgment coming, but I may [C#] be wrong.
You [G#] see, you hear these funny voices [F#] in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
I [A#m]
see you standing [G#] on the other side.
[A#m] I don't know how the [G#] river got this wide.
[F#] I loved you, baby.
Way [C#] back when.
And [A#m] all the bridges are burning [G#] we might have crossed.
But I [A#m] feel so damn close [G#] to everything we lost.
[F#] We'll never, never have to lose [G#] it again.
So [C#] I bid you farewell.
I don't know when I'll be back.
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track.
But [F#] you'll be hearing from me, darling, long after [C#] I'm gone.
I'll [G#] be speaking to you sweetly [F#] from my window in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is gray.
I eat in the places I used to play.
[F#] And I'm crazy for love.
[C#]
[G#] I'm just paying my rent [F#] every day in the [C#] Tower of Sol.
Don't stop.
Don't leave me here alone.
Don't ever stop.
Take me to bed and take me through the morning.
Because I'm so grateful to you because tonight
it's become clear to me.
Tonight the great mysteries have unraveled.
And I've penetrated to the very core of things.
And I have stumbled on the answer.
And I'm not the sort of chap that would keep this to himself.
Do you want to hear the answer?
Are you truly hungry for the answer?
Then you're just the people I want to tell it to.
Because it's a rare thing to come upon this.
I'm going to let you in on it now.
The answer to the mysteries.
